I haven’t posted much on the passage of Prop 8. I’ve tried to consolidate my thoughts on it, gauge what is going on, sentiment and legality. I’ve listened to people I deeply agree with and vehemently disagree with - people I know very well or nearly not at all. Mostly I’ve been frustrated, sad and […]
Sometimes you come across something that is far better thought out and better researched than your own opinions. I came across an article like that today in The New Republic. In it, John B. Judis argues that the current Democratic shift in America has been happening for some time and was simply interrupted by 9/11. […]
I positively bristle when people try to characterize the US as a center-right country. I was offended by conservatives who called George W. Bush’s 2004 win (by 1% in the popular vote, 3.5M votes, and a one-state 286-252 electoral victory) a conservative mandate. Don’t remember that? Let’s get a quick taste of what was said:
Q: […]

I hate these because it’s so hard to find good info. I’m simply going by the LA County […]
For the past 8 years I have lived in a country led by a man I often vehemently disagreed with. I have insulted him in many ways, called him unintelligent, wondered if he was even paying attention to what was happening to this country. The more things he said and did, the less I liked […]
If you’re willing to pay for an encounter, San Francisco might soon be the place. Soon SF residents will be voting on Prop K, which would prevent enforcement of prostitution laws within the city. It would also allow prostitutes to form collectives - unions, essentially. (Side note, Rhode Island allows sex for cash behind closed […]
Earlier, I talked about the LPGA policy to suspend players that could not pass an English proficiency exam. Well, it took them about a week, but the LPGA has decided to rethink the policy. I should hope so. They buckled under both criticism from media and players, but it seems that what finally did them […]
So. The 17 year old, unwed daughter of GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant. And she’s keeping the baby. And wants to marry the father. Clearly this means the end of support for her from the evangelical republicans. They can’t possibly support a woman who was unable to teach her daughter right from wrong. […]
Let’s look at it this way. Who is this quote from?
“The age issue, I think, was more significant in my career than the [MINORITY] issue; your resume isn’t as fat as your opponent’s, that kind of thing,” [CANDIDATE X] told TIME last month. “I don’t have 30 years of political experience under my belt but […]
Apparently Jesus, that ol’ trickster, has been seen on the back of a moth in Texas. Pareidolia aside, some people say it re-affirms their faith when something miraculous and rare like this happens.
Personally, my faith is re-affirmed when I see moths without the face of Jesus on it. I guess we all draw comfort from […]
